As part of his semester project, a BYU-Idaho Introductory Statistics student calculates a 95% confidence interval for the true p

ercentage of BYU-Idaho students who are from Latin America. What does the phrase "95% confidence" mean?
a. There's a 95% chance that the true proportion is in the confidence interval.
b. 95% of the student's data are within the confidence intervals.
c. If we create many 95% confidence intervals, 95% of them will contain the true proportion.
d. The sample proportion is in 95% of the confidence intervals we make.

Answer:

a. There's a 95% chance that the true proportion is in the confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we want to estimate a property of a population (a population's parameter), without surveying the population, we use samples.

Then, with the information of the samples we can calculate the statistics and infere properties about a population. This inferences obviously came with some uncertainty, depending on the properties of the sample and specially the sample size.

When we talk about confidence intervals, we use the statistic of the sample (in this case, the mean) to estimate a range of values it is expected to find the true mean of the population. The width of this interval depends on the sample standard deviation and the sample size.

The value of the confidence interval (95%, 99%, etc) represent the probabilty that the true mean is within this interval.

The equation of a line is given below . 6x+2y =-18 find the x intercept and the y intercept
vova2212 [387]

Answer: x intercept is -3

y intercept is -9

Step-by-step explanation: 6(0) = 2y=-18, divide both sides by 2, get -9 as a y intercept

6x+2(0)=-18

divide both sides by 6, and get -3 as an x intercept

Simplify the expression. (16y54y3)12 Enter your answer in the box.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Simplify the expression: (16y^{\frac{5}{4}}y^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}

Use the exponent power:

  • a^n \cdot a^m = a^{n+m}
  • \sqrt[n]{a^n} =a
  • (a^n)^m = a^{nm}

(16y^{\frac{5}{4}}y^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}

Apply the given rules;

(16y^{\frac{5}{4} +3} )^{\frac{1}{2}}

Simplify:

(16y^{\frac{17}{4}} )^{\frac{1}{2}}

then;

(16)^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot (y^{\frac{17}{4}})^{\frac{1}{2}} = 4y^{\frac{17}{8}}

Therefore, the simplified expression of (16y^{\frac{5}{4}}y^3)^{\frac{1}{2}} is, 4y^{\frac{17}{8}}

Ariel needs to paint the trim of a triangular box. If A (-2,4), B (2,2), and C (-1, -2) are the vertices of the triangle, what i
Kisachek [45]

Total length of the trim painted is 15.75 unit.

<u>Given:</u>

  • Co-ordinate of point A = (-2,4)
  • Co-ordinate of point B = (2,2)
  • Co-ordinate of point C = (-1,-2)

<u>Find:</u>

<em>Total length</em> of the trim painted

<u>Computation:</u>

Distance between two point = √(x1 - x2)² + (y1 - y2)²

Distance between AB = √(-2 - 2)² + (4 - 2)²

Distance between AB = √16 + 4

<em>Distance between AB</em> = 2√5 unit = 4.47 unit

Distance between BC = √(2 + 1)² + (2 + 2)²

Distance between BC = √9 + 16

<em>Distance between BC</em> = 5 unit

Distance between AC = √(-2 + 1)² + (4 + 2)²

Distance between AC = √1 + 36

<em>Distance between AC</em> = √37 unit = 6.08 unit

Total length of the trim painted = 4.47 + 5 + 6.08

Total length of the trim painted = <em>15.75 unit (Approx.)</em>
